    The level of polish is super impressive. Having the apps do different things depending on the orientation is really creative. I need to spend more time on the software side of my projects so they look as good as this!

    I saw this on reddit and will definitely have to make myself a version of this. Really nice job. Something that could possibly be improved upon is the contrast between 2 active pixels. I'm thinking an even lower layer height for the screen area, black filament for the grid, and white/transparent filament for the screen. Maybe this could make the colors pop a bit more? Overall, really like the implementation.

    • @allenslab
      @allenslab  2 роки тому +16

      Thanks for the rec! Yeah that should be able to increase the contrast, I should get some more colors of filament to try it out.

    You're a legend for providing all the code, I love that Spotify display aesthetic.
    Once I've got some spare time, I'm definitely making something like this

    The quality here is incredible. Love your product design as well. I’ve been playing around with these matrix panels for a while. One of the best implementations I’ve seen. Would be cool to see what other uses you could come up with.

    I've been dreaming of making this project myself... Probably I'll never do it or not in a time soon.
    So glad to see it alive and much better than I could ever make!
    You basically tackled all the requirements in my head:
    - Tasks
    - Pomodoro
    - Music
    - No visible LEDs
    - elegant design
    Congratulations!!

    5:28 Instead of using magnets, you could have made the display passively stable in both positions by slightly offsetting the center of rotation past the midline of the box, so that it would rotate eccentrically
    In the vertical position it would want to fall away from the turning side, and turning it to the horizontal position would cross over the axis of rotation and put the center of mass further from the center.

    Omg couple years ago I started building this, I got the display and pi and case ready but my expertise in coding was so bad that I gave up. I tried and search countless hours for a dashboard like that…. Ended up just with the demos from you mentioned. I will check out your repo. Really great work man.

    Brilliant project, and thanks a lot for sharing your design process and code. This is so aesthetically pleasing, I'll definitely be replicating your project once I can find an LED matrix panel. The only thing I'd change (and there really isn't a need for it) is using Wood filament instead of the black PETG. It stains really nicely, I just brush my eSun wood (feels like balsa) parts with stale instant coffee and spray a few coats of clear acrylic on top ;)

    Great work, i love that you've not simply made a screen with a button but pushing the possible with the tilt option. I wonder how hard it'd be to make the transition between modes cause the current displayed view 'fall' off the screen and fade in the new view.

    • @allenslab

    I just saw this and it reminds me of my Wireless Announcement Board project that used a 32x32 LED matrix display. I have since then upgraded to three 128x64 displays. I moved up from an Arduino to a Raspberry Pi. Definitely worth it.
    :)
    Keep it up!
    Edit:
    For your build, did you consider getting a Pi Zero/Zero W for your application vs removing the USB ports?
    I've used a Pi Zero for my 32x32 display, no problem. :)

    Do you have to use a raspberry pi of that size though? Wouldn't a zero w have what it takes? You could access it and change things over wifi, its so much tinier so the display could be tinier for like a "mini" variant project, but does it have the power to maintain things like this?
